A town in Cape Colony, founded in 1853 and named after the Scottish Dutch Reformed Church minister, Dr William Robertson.
The town originally relied on farming and wagon building in the early days. The railways ended the wagon building industry and this was followed by a brief period of ostrich farming and afterwards by wine making.
